The MPTS tribunal found that Dr Shehu had developed genuine insight, demonstrated meaningful remorse and completed sufficient remediation through relevant training, case reviews and audit work. It found a low risk of repetition and concluded that the public protection risks identified at the previous hearing were no longer present. The tribunal determined that his fitness to practise was no longer impaired by reason of misconduct and revoked the suspension immediately on 6 July 2026.
